Žuljana Panama Round Crown Sun Hat

You deserve the best possible fit when purchasing a good quality hat. So we have some advice to ensure that you measure your head correctly and purchase the right sized hat for you. It’s useful to have a cloth tape measure and also the help from another person for correct sizing but you can do it by yourself. We recommend using a metric ruler and measuring your head in CM.

What way do you like to wear your hat?There are two ways to wear your hat – the traditional way or worn on the back of the head – and your hat size will differ based on which option you prefer.

Worn The Traditional Way

Place a tape measure or piece of string around your head, where you would want to place your hat – about half a centimetre above the top of your ear, not on your ear, and approximately a centimetre above the eyebrows.Pull the tape or string snug but not tight and note the length of the circumference of your head in CM. You can compare the length of string against a ruler to get your measurement.

Repeat the process at least twice to ensure that the result is as accurate as possible. Always remember that the important thing is that it feels comfortable.Compare the measurement you obtained with the hat size chart. If your measurement falls in between sizes, we suggest the larger size for comfort. For instance for a circumference of 56.5cm choose a medium size.

Worn To The Back Of The Head

Take your cloth measuring tape or string and place it around the base of your cranium, the furthest part at the back of your head, then bring the measure around to the front of your head, about 5 mm above your ears and position it at the top of your forehead, at the beginning of your hair line.

Pull the tape or string snug but not tight and note the length of the circumference of your head in CM. You can compare the length of string against a ruler to get your measurement.

*NOTE: As our hats are all handmade slight variances in hat size will occur. A hat filler can be used to ensure a snug fit so we include one when ever a hat is ordered.

The hat filler is made of foam cushioning. One side is adhesive so you can easily place the filler inside the hat crown inner sweat band for a better fit. This will reduce your hat size by approximately 1-2.5cm.

When selecting a hat consider the proportion of your face shape and body to find hat styles that complement you. While every face is different, most can be grouped into one of six general shapes. Take a look through these descriptions to work out what best suits you!

Face Shape : Oblong

Definition - Face is longer than it is wide. Fairly straight lines running from temple to jaw & a round chin.

Aim - Find harmony by evening out the length of the face and provide more width. Crown of hat covers ample portion of forehead, sits low on forehead. Wide brims, especially ones that are turned downwards.

Definition - Symmetrical face. It is about as wide as it is long with a wide forehead and full checks and rounded chin.

Aim - Balance out with a more angular hat that creates length. You can easily wear asymmetrical shapes, such as hats with a high crown, peaked or slanted brim and slanting your hat forward. These details will all give great proportion and shape to a round face.
